Science is one of the fields of human knowledge and culture which is far away from haphazard occurrences and probabilities and nearer to certainty.

Most artists I speak with want to become rich and famous as soon as possible. They want to make art full time in peace and quiet in their studios while other people sell it. In their quests for lives of pure creative harmony, they come to people like me for advice, searching for tips and techniques on how to hasten the inevitable. In response to these requests, here's a little grease for your art world ascendancies.

The number one question artists ask is how to get representation, and this is a bit of a catch-22, because you have to sell art in order to attract galleries or agents or whatever, while on the other hand, you can hardly make sales without them. Or can you? The answer is that you can, and if you can't, you'll have to learn. Once you learn to make sales (translation: persuade others that your art has merit) you'll be ready for representation.
